Abstract:
This study presents a comparative analysis of the 5-year return performance of large-cap and small-cap stocks, based on a sample of 46 observations from each segment. Key statistical measures such as mean, median, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis are used to evaluate and contrast their return distributions. The findings indicate that while both large-cap and small-cap stocks have delivered strong average returns over the period, small-cap stocks exhibit significantly higher volatility and extreme outliers, suggesting a high-risk, high-reward profile. In contrast, large-cap stocks show more stable and consistent performance, with lower variability in returns. The analysis concludes that investment decisions between these two segments should be aligned with individual risk tolerance, financial goals, and investment horizons. The study provides valuable insights for investors aiming to optimize their portfolio allocation by understanding the return behavior and risk characteristics of different market capitalizations.
